Fran Berry
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%".
Rode around 520 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.07). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 17% (675 rides).
The record is strongest at Killarney (19.4%, n=129), clear of the rider's 11.6% baseline. It is weakest at Newmarket (3.3% over 92 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16.6% (n=675, Fair A/E 1.09). Mrs John Harrington supplied 11% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (12.9%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 88 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Tattersalls Ireland Sale Stakes at Curragh (Aug 2006, £147,000). The standout partner of the record was Jumbajukiba (GB) — 6 wins from 22 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Dec–Apr.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 11.6% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.6% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

Quick answers
- What is Fran Berry's strike rate?
- Fran Berry has won 721 of 6,215 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 11.6% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Fran Berry do best at?
- Killarney by strike rate: 25 wins from 129 rides (19.4%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.
- Which yard does Fran Berry ride most for?
- Mrs John Harrington, with 703 rides since 2008 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 91 (12.9%).
- What is Fran Berry's Fair A/E?
- 1.07, from 6,200 rides with a computed fair probability since 2008. Fair A/E compares actual wins with a margin-stripped market expectation, so 1.00 is par: above it the wins came at bigger prices than the margin-free market implied, below it they did not.
